Spicy Octopus Taquitos

I know Octopus is something we like to eat at a restaurant because it may be a little too much work to do at home. But wait.. this recipe will make you sooo happy that you will want to make it again an again.

Be sure to cook the octopus in a deep skillet with water, adding a Penny (yes, a coin) because copper will accelerate the process and your octopus will be super tender after being ready.
